Gary R. Bertoline

Dr. Gary R. Bertoline is the Dean of the Polytechnic Institute and a Distinguished Professor of Computer Graphics Technology and Computer and Information Technology at Purdue University. He earned his PhD at The Ohio State University and was on the faculty in the College of Engineering for three years before coming to Purdue University in 1990. Gary served as founding Department Head of Computer Graphics Technology and then led the creation of the Rosen Center for Advanced Computing and the Envision Center for Perceptualization.

He co-founded the Indiana Next Generation Manufacturing Competitiveness Center (INMaC) as well as the Polytechnic Institute initiative at Purdue University. The Polytechnic initiative is a major effort to transform the colleges curricula and learning experience for the students to better prepare graduate for life and work in the digital age. Gary is also the visionary leader for the Purdue Polytechnic High School, Indianapolis, a charter school that opened on July 31, 2017. The high school will help close the educational gap for many Indianapolis students.

He has authored numerous papers in journals and trade publications on engineering and computer graphics, computer-aided design, and visualization research. He has authored and coauthored seven textbooks in the areas of computer-aided design and engineering design graphics with one, Fundamentals 3D Solid Modeling and Graphics Communications currently in its 7th edition. Garys research interests are in scientific visualization, interactive immersive environments, distributed and grid computing, workforce education, and STEM education.

Introduction to Graphics Communications for Engineers, Fifth Edition, introduces engineering and technology students to various topics and skills important to their education. This workbook is an introduction to the standard practices used by engineers and technologists to communicate graphically. The primary goal of this text is to assist students in learning the techniques and standards of communicating graphically so that design ideas can be clearly communicated and produced.

The text concentrates on the concepts and skills needed to sketch and create 2-D drawings and 3-D CAD models. Engineers still find it necessary to communicate and interpret design ideas through the use of graphical methods such as sketches and CAD drawings and models. As powerful as todays computers and CAD software have become, they are of little use to engineers who do not fully understand fundamental graphics communications principles and 3-D modeling strategies, or who lack high-level visualization skills.

The workbook is divided into six chapters with multiple units of instruction. Chapter 1, Introduction to Graphics Communications, is an introduction to graphics communications as a language for engineers and describes the tools used and some of the techniques for communicating graphically. Chapter 2, Sketching and Text, is an introduction to sketching technique, projection theory, visualization, and the use of text on drawings. Chapter 3, Section and Auxiliary Views, introduces the student to the use of and technique for creating sectioned drawings and models and auxiliary views. Chapter 4, Dimensioning and Tolerancing Practices, describes how to create and read dimensional drawings. Chapter 5, Reading and Constructing Working Drawings, describes how to read and produce working drawings. Finally, Chapter 6, Design and 3-D Modeling, is an overview of 3-D modeling techniques and the engineering design process.

A few features of the fifth edition include:

• Design Problems to provide students an opportunity to exercise the various stages of the design process. The problems provide an ideation stage, a decision-making stage, design creation stage, and the documentation stage. Each problem includes provisions for sketching, 3-D modeling, and documentation of the students final solution to the problem.

• Practice Problems are included throughout each chapter in the fourth edition. These problems give students an opportunity to get drawing practice as they work through concepts.

• End-of-Chapter Sketching Problems reinforce what students are learning in the chapter.

• Student-Friendly Pedagogy includes a list of objectives at the beginning of chapters, step-by-step instructions on how to draw, and a wide assortment of problems that can be assigned to reinforce concepts.

Sketching worksheets have been integrated into the end of each chapter. These worksheets can be used for sketching assignments to augment assignments using CAD. After completing the workbook, the student will be able to create design sketches using various projection techniques, create and read 2-D standard engineering drawings, and create and visualize 3-D computer models.
